Tim/Trialsin USA Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hey all, Plazmatic steel braided crossovers. We have recreated the famous Russell/Magura steel braided cross over....but better. What is cool about this steel braided cross over? 1. Dramatically reduces line breakage due to hooking with heel/foot while bailing. 2. Unlike current Magura steel braided line, you do not have to buy the whole kit. These will patch right in without having to change/remove/replace the standard plastic line that goes from master cylinder (lever) to slave cylinder. 3. Unlike current HOPE or Magura steel braided line, the ends/fasteners are not made out of aluminum that quickly rounds/strips and snap under certain impacts. We are actually using OE Magura M6x1 barb fittings. 4. Price will not dent your wallet too badly. Price in USA $30-$35. 5. An improvement over the original Russell crossovers, these have protective plastic coating. Pictured with translucent smoke/grey coating. Production ones have clear coating. 6. 10" (easy now!) gives plenty of clearance for big mod tires (and UNIs!). Don't swear the afternoon away because of another broken cross over! Enjoy, Tim Plazmatic/MOE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Good stuff Hope cross-overs are stainless fittings by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duck Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I probably would have bought one if you didn't just own up to being MOE. I won't clog your thread by expanding on that, but I am seriously not impressed with a certain MOE product, so am therefore sulking with you.

I won't clog your thread by expanding on that, but I am seriously not impressed with a certain MOE product, so am therefore sulking with you. I am sorry you missed the "We" (there are others involved) in my post. I am not sure what else can be said to convey my relationship to MOE. Maybe I will have some "I AM MOE" shirts made up, to be sure full disclosure is met. Or did I misread this and you implied that if it had some other name on it you would by it....confused by that logic as well. As you are unwilling to explain the problem with a product, it is rather difficult to address it from my end. Sorry you were dissatisfied with a part. Maybe after some therapy, you will be able to overcome the inability to vocalize it. Ha, ha, ha, ha..........gotcha, Monday is Sarcasm day!..........seriously, zip me an e-mail and let me know what the problem is/was. Enjoy, Tim Good stuff Hope cross-overs are stainless fittings by the way. Yes, Adam.... quite right! The aluminum end is on the main line from lever to slave. That reminds me, the item I missed was that the fitting rotate just like the old Monty/Magura/Russell crossovers..... so there is no need to twiddle about with the fitting/collar to avoid twisting of line while installing.

Muel Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Supercycles will sell you a cracking kit to the legnths you want for £14 posted, and to be honest they look a lot more substantial that yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A kit? Is it self assembly? Is it safe? What does the kit consist of? The MOE ones, (on order and set to arrive as fast as Tim can ship them), are manufactured by an aeronautical company to a very high standard. The MOE philosophy is to provide exceptional value for money, our 7 series cranks, bars and stems that will hit the market soon will back up my statement. Fred.

Tim/Trialsin USA Posted July 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Nice subtle implication there, Fred... Better than subtitled implications. Supercycles will sell you a cracking kit to the legnths you want for £14 posted, and to be honest they look a lot more substantial that yours! "more substantial" is something I find hard to determine via CRT screen, personally. I am sure they are there, but I only saw the hose that goes from lever/master to slave cylinder. Did not spot a cross over on the web page..... it was probably right in front of my face and I did not see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Sorry, I don't really know why I wrote that. The fittings on the one from supercycles are huge, I just thought that they looked beefier than your one, but I think they are aluminium. Basically, you tell them the legnths you want, and they put all the fittings and the hose together. All you have to do is fit it and bleed it.
